understand the fundamental roles of
fluid turbulence on scalar mixing and
reaction rates by studying fundamental
fluid mechanics and chemical kinetics
in turbulent flows with and without
chemical reaction and combustion. The
primary targets are non-reacting
turbulent flows consisting of
compressed air and combusting
turbulent flows with fuels of methane
and oxidizer of air. The products of
combustion are water, carbon dioxide,
and nitrogen. The instrument is
required to operate over a broad range
of experiment conditions with specific
targets of repetition rates ranging from 1
to 50 kHz. At these repetition rates, a
minimum output power of 20 Watts is
required at all operating conditions. A
high-quality beam profile of M2<2 is
also needed. The pulse duration of the
laser must also be less than 10
nanoseconds. Without these
characteristics, accurate velocity and
scalar fields, including species
concentration, temperature, and density
cannot be measured.
Docket Number: 14–011. Applicant:

Intended Use: See notice at 79 FR
41537, July 16, 2014. Comments: None
received. Decision: Approved. We know
of no instruments of equivalent
scientific value to the foreign
instruments described below, for such
purposes as this is intended to be used,
that was being manufactured in the
United States at the time of order.
Reasons: The instrument will be used to
gain fundamental knowledge of the
mechanisms involved in eukaryotic cell
motion, by utilizing a total internal
reflection technique which allows
visualization of only the cell part that is
immediately above the substratum
(roughly the bottom 100nm of a cell),
which enables cell imaging with a
superior spatial and temporal resolution
over other non-TIRF microscopes.
Examples of experiments to be
conducted with the instrument include
measuring the forces generated by
several different cell types on substrates
during directed motility, determining
the spatial location of signaling
components involved in cell-substrate
adhesion, investigating the effect of
different substrate rigidities on cell
motility, determining the response of
cells to externally imposed chemical
gradients, and determining the role of
certain signaling components in cell
motility. Crucial in the experiments is
the unique ability of the instrument to
autofocus the imaging plane such that

the cell remains in focus for an
extended period of time, which
guarantees sharp images for the duration
of the experiments. The instrument also
has a Yanus IV scanhead that enables
fast Fluorescence Recovery After
Photobleaching (FRAP) experiments,
and a custom-made plexiglass box to
facilitate specific temperature and CO2
concentrations required by mammalian
and amoeboid cells, that can easily be
removed to transition between different
conditions.

Cryopreservation. Manufacturer: FEI,
Czech Republic. Intended Use: See
notice at 79 FR 46773, August 11, 2014.
Comments: None received. Decision:
Approved. We know of no instruments
of equivalent scientific value to the
foreign instruments described below, for
such purposes as this is intended to be
used, that was being manufactured in
the United States at the time of order.
Reasons: The instrument is used to
produce high-quality frozen-hydrated
biological specimens for observation in
cryo-TEM, to determine the structure of
macromolecular biological complexes. It
is equipped with an environmental
chamber and fully automated control of
blotting and plunge-freezing conditions.
The computerized control of the
humidity/temperature environment
specimen chamber and blotting/freezing
conditions is essential to reproducibly
obtaining high quality samples for TEM,
free of freezing artifacts.

Approved. We know of no instruments
of equivalent scientific value to the
foreign instruments described below, for
such purposes as this is intended to be

Reasons: The instrument will be used to
obtain ultrathin dielectric films with
full coverage of semiconductor device
surface to prevent electric leakage, and
fabricate amorphous metal thin films, by
depositing oxide films onto metal layer
surfaces and studying the effect of the
diode, in order to study film uniformity,
adhesion, dielectric constant, and
optical constants. Unique features of the
instrument include a dual vacuum
chamber, which allows different
reaction chambers to be fit into the same

vacuum chamber, allowing easy scale
up to batch process and deposition on
different substrates, source lines that are
pre-heated before entering the reactor
chamber, improving the deposition
quality, and the option of ultra-high
vacuum system by using metal seal
flanges. Another unique feature is the
hot-wall reaction chamber, which
allows a metal-metal sealing surface and
pressure control that keeps all process
gases inside the reaction chamber with
no condensation occurring in the
vacuum chamber walls. The reaction
chamber walls are at the same
temperature as the substrate which
prevents secondary reaction routes
inside the reaction chamber that would
result in the loss of self-limited growth
mechanism of ALD, ensures no
corrosion occurs on the vacuum
chamber walls, and ensures the best
particle performance and long
maintenance cycles, and a maximum
deposition temperature of 500 degrees
Celsius.

Reasons: The instrument will be used to
provide accurate data for research on
earthquake early warning, by orienting
more than 100 seismic sensors to the
exact north direction. The instrument
includes unique features such as
compact design and ease of use in
enclosed spaces such as small vault
installations that are 8 feet deep and
only 2 feet in diameter, the ability to
measure orientation with an accuracy of
0.1 degrees, portability, and is based on
iXBlue’s proprietary algorithms that are
not available domestically.

United States at the time of order.
Reasons: The instrument will be used to
acquire the astronomical target by
sensing its location in a moderate field
of view image and using the position of
the target relative to a pre-determined
location in the sensor field of view to
provide signals used to adjust the
pointing of the telescope, and thereafter
to detect and eliminate rapid tip-tilt (i.e.
angle of arrival) fluctuations in the
incoming light beam due to atmospheric
turbulence—sensing these again by
measuring the position of the target
relative to a pre-determined location in
the sensor field and using these
measurements to send high frequency
control signals to the active secondary
mirror of the telescope and low
frequency pointing corrections to the
telescope mount. The unique features of
the instrument are the interferometer
system which is designed to fulfill the
Science Reference Mission, including a
focus on model-independent imaging as
opposed to astrometric or precision
phase or visibility measurement, which
implies the ability to relocate the
telescope, in particular the provision of
a close-packed array configuration with
shortest inter-telescope separations of
7.8 m. Another unique feature is the
ability to reach limiting magnitudes of
H = 14 for group delay fringe tracking
and V = 16 for tip-tilt sensing to allow
observations of extragalactic targets (in
particular AGN, which have red colors).
Other unique features include a dual
role as a tip-tilt (angle of arrival)
correction system and target acquisition
system, for which a 60″ field of view is
required, a level of opto-mechanical
stability such that the change in the
effective tip-tilt zero point is less than
0.015″ on the sky for a 5 degree Celsius
change in ambient temperature, which
implies sub-micron stability of the
components of the system over the
course of a night, a limiting sensitivity
of 16th magnitude at visual wavelengths
(limiting magnitude V = 16 for target
acquisition and residual tilt in fast tiptilt mode < 0.060″ at V = 16), and the
ability to maintain the surface
temperature of FTT/MSA components
close to the light beam path within 2
degrees Celsius of ambient, which,
coupled with the wide operating
temperature range, requires the camera
to be housed in a special
environmentally-controlled enclosure.
